Well, you might be able to swing a deal — isn’t everything for sale in Las Vegas? — but officially he’s the holiday greeter at Jean Philippe Patisserie at Bellagio. He’s 5 feet, 6 inches tall and made with 50 pounds of chocolate and 112 pounds of rolled fondant. And even if the Grinch is out of reach for you, rest assured that the patisserie, which has another shop at Aria, has plenty of other offerings.

We’re featuring an even dozen sources for food gifts from businesses that are based in Las Vegas or have locations here.

Here’s the thing about food gifts: They always fit, they never go out of style and they’re almost always welcomed, whether they’re for the person who has everything or the person who has next to nothing.

So much better than a necktie. Or a pair of socks.
